Creation of the police chief of WSOP (2006)

The series of the world of poker was the invention of Benny Binion, owner of the horseshoe casino of Binion where the WSOP was presented during the three-and-a-half first decades of its existence. Shortly after that Harrah bought the horseshoe and thus ensured the intendance of the WSOP in 2004, Gary Thompson was called director of the series of the world of operations and communications of tournament of poker and was helped to control the fast expansion of the series during this period. In 2005, rented yellow whitings of Jeffrey de Harrah as vice-president of marketing. The yellow whitings had held the similar positions previously with the NBA and NASCAR. In January 2006, Pollack called of Harrah the police chief of WSOP, a position which it was held since. All the following innovations which occurred with the WSOP -- for example, changes with the program, the introduction of various patronages of corporation, the creation of the Advisory committee of players -- are connected to the change which created this new and important role of control, filled by Pollack during the three-and-a-half last years.
